If a conviction is expunged will dropped charges from arrest disappear?

In 2015 I was charged with a misdemeanor and two felonies all occurring in the same arrest. As part of the plea deal the two felonies were dropped and I was convicted for the misdemeanor. All three charges are eligible for court-ordered expunction. I plan on retaining counsel to get the conviction expunged after (if) the Fl department of law enforcement provides a certificate of eligibility. My question is if the conviction is expunged do the two felony charges that were dropped also go away?

Simply put will the clerk of court records still show the documents like probable cause affidavit, booking report etc for the dropped charges? Or will the entire record be removed if the conviction is expunged? Under the statue from my understanding I meet the expungement requirements but I'm a little confused to how it works when multiple charges get dropped? The impact of the incident is more vanity and embarrassment and fortunately didn't impact subsequent employment in the federal government besides having to take ownership for poor choices. But since criminal record for the county clerk of court are accessible publicly online, every single person who googles my name gets directed to the court records. Hence asking if the county clerk of courts remove the entire file.
